Merkel Era Starts to End in Germany as Olaf Scholz Seals the Three-Way Deal

Germany -Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel‘s period ended after Social Democrat Olaf Scholz secured a coalition agreement on Wednesday. 

Scholz’s Social Democrats stated that they would give their Three-Way Deal with the Greens and the Free Democrats at a press meeting at 3 pm (2 pm GMT) 

Following two months of discussions, the agreement will end Merkel’s sixteen-year work as Chancellor and introduce Germany’s first three-way government coalition since the 1950s. 

The traffic lights alliance is named after every party, denoting a turning point in German politics, and arrives after the Social Democrats closely won elections on 26 September. 

The new coalition will change Germany’s leadership a bit to the left following 16 years under the rule of center-right Merkel, who acquired applauses for managing a series of concerns and crises over her tenure. Scholz flagged that the country’s international policies would not change.
